## 📘 Project Overview

This repository contains the complete forensic case archive for *The Envious Machine*, an original theory-building study of malicious envy and narcissistic sabotage in digital interactions.

The project traces the behavioral, rhetorical, and linguistic patterns of a public dispute (archived on the blockchain), analyzing them through a triangulated framework of:

- **Narcissistic Admiration-Rivalry** (Back et al., 2013)
- **Malicious Envy** (Lange & Crusius, 2015)
- **The Narcissism of Small Differences** (Freud, 1917)
- **Digital Dramaturgy** (Goffman, 1959)

All versions, peer reviews, final deliverables, and source artifacts are included in this canonical Git archive.
